Oh I imagine it is inviting people to kill her, but the people that she thinks will kill her don't operate using nooses, they use bullets.In post 692, Morning Mage wrote:There is no way Titus writes this and doesn't think "Everyone is going to want to kill me after this." she's practically asking to be voted! i'm confused how to interpret it, other than noting this must just be how she tends to talk i suppose.

For the record, can mostly vouch for this, with a caveat: FL has had lurker-scum-games where he was scum and was playing similarly to how April is now. (So basically, can vouch that 699 is accurate--incidentally, that is the first post from Ban Hydras I've seen that has made me think "this slot might be town", in that literally all posts before didn't give me town or scum vibes but this one post did give minor town vibes.)In post 696, April Ludgate wrote:I’d be posting way more if I were scum here, Menalque.

(For the record, in the last year or so, my scumgame has been utter garbage and I haven't been able to effort as scum at all. Dunno why, but it's just. Not had the magic.

(For the record, push come to shove, if I had to sort April it would be town, but it's with the caveat that it's not a strong read because April's not doing anything that's strongly alignment-indicative. But I do get townvibes off of what little April is doing along with the contrast to established usual scumplay.)In post 757, April Ludgate wrote:This is what I do most games I’m scum in and Mastina is in the game.

Locktown, locktown-candidates (not quite locktown but very very strong townreads I'm considering bumping up to locktown), strong town, weak town, nulltown (with heavy ambivalence), dead-null, nullscum, ambivalent-nullscum (this might take some explaining, it's basically a category where when I think of them in one side they'd be above the nullscum as either null or even nulltown, but when I think of them on the other side they're below nullscum in lean scum and they do go between those extremes), and scum.
This is a perhaps better illustration of the readslist--Morning Mage and Ban Hydras in their townier moments are up there, Morning Mage and Ban Hydras in their less-townie moments are down there, and the read is highly ambivalent between the two extremes. (There's no middle ground. Just one, or the other.)In post 844, mastina wrote:Titus

But you have an expectation that you should be having a townread on them, that's the part you left out.In post 841, mastina wrote:It's not BoP tho.In post 797, superbowl9 wrote:This is just a long way of saying BoP
Burden of Proficiency requires Proficiency--competency, accuracy, whathaveyou.
You don't need to be proficient/accurate/competent in order for me to have a townread on you--you just need to do anything that makes me think you're town.
And until 699 there was literally nothing that gave me that.
